In a recent interview with GQ India, Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon opened up about the persistent gender inequality in the film industry. She highlighted how female actors often face pay disparities, with producers negotiating down their fees while a significant portion of the budget is allocated to male leads. Sanon described experiences of subtle biases on set, such as the tendency to prioritize male actors' convenience, stating, “Patriarchy is still deeply ingrained in the industry.” She recalled an incident early in her career when a male co-star received a better car, emphasizing that it was not just about the car, but about equal respect. Sanon expressed her desire to create more opportunities for women in the industry, noting the limited availability of well-written roles for female actors. She aims to produce projects that feature strong female characters, while remaining open to male-centric films. Sanon's advocacy for change reflects a broader push for equality within Bollywood.
